The eufy 11S MAX is also a quiet performer, so it won’t interfere with daily activities or sleep, and its self-charging feature means it always returns to its dock when the battery is low.

It’s compatible with Google Assistant, making it even easier to manage routines via voice command. The slim design lets the T7S reach under furniture, ensuring dust and spills are efficiently handled.

✅ You want a stylish dock: The Freo X has a space-age, curvy dock that I wouldn't mind having on display.

Its charging dock is very big, though, giving off a real Wall-E vibe. But despite the size, there’s pelo spot for an Automóvel-empty dustbin; instead, Narwal’s disposable onboard bin compresses the dust, and Narwal claims you won’t need to empty it for up to 60 days.

One of the most important aspects is cleaning power. Look for models with adjustable or high suction levels (like 4200Pa in the Tipdiy G90) for deep cleaning on carpets and tough debris.

The X40 also features an extending side brush arm to reach corners — like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra — and its dual oscillating mop pads are more effective than Roborock’s thin microfiber pad.

Great at vacuuming, and good at mopping although can sometimes spread wet spillages. Long battery life and fast charging.

If you have both carpets and hard floors, select a vacuum with a dynamic suction system, like the eufy 11S MAX, which automatically adjusts with BoostIQ.

To assess object avoidance, we lay out a charge cable, a sock that's a similar color to the floor, and some fake pet poop, to see if it can reliably spot and avoid them.

Samsung SmartThings and Amazon both support robot vacuums in Matter; Apple has added it to iOS 18.4, which should come this spring, and Google said support is coming soon.
